A few interesting quotes from unnamed Eagles players, courtesy of Yahoo! Sports.
One player admitted that he thought DeSean Jackson might be avoiding contact for fear of getting hurt before the Eagles pay him.
I cant lieit is something Ive thought about, the player told Yahoos Michael Silver Sunday. There was a play toward the very end of the game where it looked like he might have short-armed it. And I dont blame him.
And after consecutive blown fourth-quarter leads inspired players to comment that the Eagles are better than the teams they lost to, one Eagle had enough.
Guys keep saying, If we clean this up and clean that up, we could be so expletive good! But I think if you keep saying that over and over, youre gonna be saying that on your couch in January. One of the messages we got on Monday was, Lets quit worrying about how good we can be, and just be.
And be a little tougher. According to the story, during Monday's film session, the clip of one of Owen Schmitt's squashed goal-line carries was shown -- Schmitt tried to cut instead of muscling his way to the end zone -- and coaches conveyed a message, according to Silver: "You guys are playing soft, and it needs to stop."
